Trench, writing to tho London Times to appeal to tho charifa ble for aid Fur some unfortunate families, gives this account of the burstiug of an Irish bog. Hosavs; 'I have just returned from inspecting one of the most pitiful scenes of the Bort it hns been my fate to witness since I saw the remains of the village of Visp, in the Rhono YaUey, Switzerland, after its destruction by flood some years ago. ?The scene to which I refer is the .result of the bursting of r bog, situated about three miles east of the town of Dunmore, in the northern pnrt of Gal way county. Heretofore this bog was connected with the .Dunmore RWer, at Dunmore, by a -.nail stream called the OoTTabe! River fit wing through aeon tinnation ofpastnrp and tillage lan is in its course. The. level of the upper sur face of the bog was formerly L!GG fe?t above the sea, and that of the water at Dunmore \i)0 feet, showing a fall of 70 feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bug presented tho.UMial appearance of most of our undrained Dish ho^^, i. o , its skirts, adjoining the arable land, consist iug of high turf banks, being exceeding 1y wet and spongy. 'On tho first of October tho farmer occupying a farm ou the Corrabal stream nonr the hog was "digging his potatoes, when hesuldenly observed a brown mass slowly approaching htm. Ho left his Bpadc tu the grrmnd, and went for the neighbors; on hin return tho tins (which w;ih the moving bog~) had half covered his potato field. nnH completely hidden ht Iiis Held oF boYu with the ex .,< a lew .Ktwhrica' . situated on a knoll; they Sttfi remain an Ulan 1 in the lit Id did of it seeee of desolation. This was hut'thu commencement, kin06 then ihe bog has coptinued to advance. 4<i u , rolling notes, cnnnAuTibi1 Its eour-o ri^ht ?down the valley to D.inuioiv. miVyih.? on its way three farm hb f'081. and o ?vor ing at least one hundred and eighty acres of pasture and arable land to a depth in some places of six feet. The unfortunate oc mpiers of the three farms have heeu turned, by this Visitation of l'rovideiios, Jar ml ess aud homeless, with their families, on the world. 'At Dunmore a small bridge has been removed, near the junction of the G?r rabel stream w.ith the Dunmore River to afford "cliof to the lands up the val ley, and a bog-ladou torrent is boing dis clutrgcd into tho latter river. The worst may be said to be over,; but tho discharging powers of that river will be materially affected by this, influx id sol id matter. Thesmrc; of this disaster ?-??esentefl a wonderful appearance. The subsidence at the discharging point can not be less than about ii? feet. The extent of the bog aifeoted is most clear ly defined by a sories of black 'crev is t?es,' where the upper crust of the bog has, by the subsidence below, been torn asunder. The whole assumes the Forth of a era tor half a mile in diameter. 'With considerable difficulty we pilot ed our way to the emtre. whore w i Foun 1 the brown liquid bog boiling out like a stream of lavu aud feeding tho moving mass in the valley below. At the point .where the bog burst, tho turf banks were forced r:ght ov. r and rom? on either side, and assumed f-omcwhat the .appearance of 'moraines.' 'This aud similar disasters to which this country is liable must ho attributed to the absence, of a (Omplctu and good systom of arterial draiuago. A similar catastrophe occurred two years age, oc cusioned by tho backwuter of the River Suck| near Casth rea.' An llcwipFlatfinuo.
